Overview

SP Videl YEL is a Melee Fighter with two held Strike Cards. Her toolkit revolves around inflicting high Strike Damage with the help of some powerful Unique Abilities that make her a constant danger to the Enemy when she’s on the field.

She’s a great addition for the Female Warrior Tag, as the previous best Yellow Fighter was SP Android #18 YEL, a very outdated Fighter. Before she was released, this Tag was vulnerable against Purple, a with some of the best Fighters in the game.

Strengths

Powerful Strike Damage

SP Videl YEL’s Unique Abilities make sure she has a high Strike Damage output at any point during the Match. She gets +30% to Strike Damage if there is another Female Warrior on the Team and an additional 20% up if her Health is are under 50%. She also gets +50% to Strike Damage if she’s the only Fighter remaining.

Her Main Ability Boosts her Strike Damage by 35% and lowers her Strike Card cost by 5 for 15 timer counts, an effect that when paired with side step, gives the possibility to performer longer than normal Combos.

This makes her Damage output more consistent than SP SSJ2 Caulifla PUR’s, the other strong Melee Female Warrior, who depends partly on more situational Unique Abilities than SP Videl YEL.

Decent Survivability

In addition to the Damage Boost, her Main Ability also Heals SP Videl YEL’s Health by 30%, which is really great for such an Offensive Fighter.

In general, Female Warriors suffer from having low Defense, and SP Videl YEL, despite having good Defensive stats, is still held back by low Health. For this reason, such an Ability is important for her survivability in the current Meta.

Weaknesses

Low Blast Damage

This wouldn’t be an issue if the most popular Team Builds didn’t require her to Team up with SP Youth Bulma BLU, who holds two Blast Cards.

Despite the enormous Damage potential of this pair, having to use Blast Arts Cards with SP Videl YEL is really bothersome as deals so little Damage for a high Ki Cost.

Limited Team Options

The only Tag Videl has Synergy with is Female Warrior, and despite being a very solid Fighter, she isn’t an essential choice.

This decreases her value as a Fighter because there is no other Team she can fit in other than color counter which, with the exception of its Female Warrior options--SP Videl YEL, SP Android #18 YEL, and SP Youth Bulma BLU, has better options than her.

Team Synergy

Female Warrior

Overall, SP Videl YEL is a very solid choice for this Tag. Her high Strike Damage fits in the current Meta really well, and she’s basically the only viable Yellow Female Warrior Fighter. Female Warrior Teams have tons of Build options thanks to the recent release of so many good Fighters.

SP Videl YEL will often rotate between the bench and the core, depending on the Enemy’s Team. However, thanks to her high Damage output, she is one of the more preferable options in neutral conditions.

Why this Tier?

In addition to having such a high Strike Attack base stat, everything in her toolkit Buffs Strike Damage to incredible levels.

She has a great self-Healing Main Ability, but much of her toolkit relies on being the last Fighter alive and staying below 50% Health for maximum Damage output.

Discussion:

SP Videl YEL is an incredible Melee Fighter who pairs well with the Female Warrior defacto leader SP SSJ2 Caulifla PUR, as she brings the Strike Arts Cards and Tag Synergy needed to really take advantage of a heavy Strike mix.
